Hi Chris

If you find out please let me know. I've been trying to get audio to work in Vista, but haven't had any success. Like yourself, I can only get the mic input showing - very frustrating!

Cheers

Try right clicking the speaker icon in the taskbar, select recording devices, select the line in and then set default. Might work, haven't tried it.

Edit: sorry that was for using an external source. I guess you need to route a media player to a specific output then use that in QS input.
Edit2: I have 'Stereo Mix' available as a recording device, this should be the default output for a media player app, and it shows up in the VLJ options

ah you need the stereo mix right?
well it's device is hidden.
Go to the audio settings (where you can see the mic device and such)

Right-click on an empty spot below and tick "show hidden devices"
then it's there but kinda grayed out, then enable it.

Also if there comes no output to the stereo mix, then you might be using your headphone jack.
With the common realtek drivers/ sound cards this is common I think.
You need to use your normal speaker jack if this happens for sound to record.

Bah, still no joy.

Mine's using a Sigma Tel high definition audio Codec and is routed to the speakers/headphones. i'm using a Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop. I'm trying to get this working with my iTunes library and have no problem getting music out of the laptop's speakers.

VDJ just shows 'microphone/line in Sigmatel' as the only option

I've tried clicking in a blank spot below the speaker options on the 'sound' window and get the following two options...

Show disabled devices or show disconnected devices.

I've got both options ticked but nothing else shows up. The speakers/headphones option is set as the default.

I think i've tried all the suggestions so far and probably a load of other stuff along the way but still no joy.

Any other suggestions?

Cheers

Look for driver updates.
Secondly do you have some custom software with that sound card?
better check if it has some toggles
